avinivartanīya (阿鞞跋致). The Spiritual level from which a Bodhisattva will never regress (不退). Bodhisattvas with the first six or more of the ten faithful minds will never regress from Faith; Bodhisattvas at the seventh and higher levels of abiding will never abandon the Mahāyāna; Bodhisattvas on the first and higher grounds will never lose their Spiritual realization;
Bodhisattvas on the eighth and higher grounds will never lose their Mindfulness, and their progress will be effortless (see stages of the Bodhisattva Way).
